We inherited this magnolia (obviously it's not flowering anymore).
It's growing at a very fast rate and the leaves are now enormous, so I'm worried how big it's going to get - I know they vary a lot in size.
If I need to move it out of it's current position (between a laurel and a holly), when would be the best time of year?

It is always difficult to identify magnolias as there are so many. Apart from Stellata - which your magnolia isn't - one of the commonest is Magnolia soulangeana and these do indeed grow huge. The best time to move them is late Spring so I reckon if you did it immediately it should be ok. Make sure when you replant that the plant stays at the same depth in its new lolcation.
Thanks Ladybird, I was thrilled when I discovered it, but it hasn't got much room where it is!
